Why SSL matters for your site
Secure your connections: Protect sensitive information and customer data. SSL encryption ensures all communication between your website and visitors remains private and safe from interception.
Improve your search ranking: Search engines prioritise secure websites. SSL builds credibility, increases visitor trust, and helps lift your search engine position.
Meet privacy requirements: If you handle customer information, SSL is essential – it’s the fundamental requirement for protecting personal data under Australian privacy laws.

SSL Certificates FAQs
What does SSL certificate entails?
An SSL certificate is a security file that encrypts data between your website and its visitors, keeping information private and safe.
It activates the padlock icon and HTTPS in the browser bar, showing users your site is secure for browsing, shopping or sharing details.
How to Get SSL Protection?
Purchase directly from Truehost Australia and we’ll help you install it quickly – usually within minutes. No technical skills required.
Hosting with us? We include free SSL installation with your plan.
What does SSL mean?
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It’s the security technology that creates an encrypted link between websites and visitors to protect sensitive information.
What are the risks of not having SSL protection?
Your website will display “Not Secure” warnings in browsers. This can cause visitors to leave immediately, lower your search engine rankings, and make your site vulnerable to data breaches and security threats.
It also damages credibility – particularly important for sites that handle forms, logins, or payments.
How quickly will my SSL certificate be ready?
Most SSL certificates are issued immediately or within minutes, particularly Domain Validated (DV) certificates.
Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validation (EV) certificates typically require 1-5 business days for additional verification checks.
How is the SSL certificate installed?
If you host with Truehost Australia, we install your SSL certificate at no extra cost. For external hosting, we provide clear step-by-step guidance.
The general process involves:
- Adding the certificate to your server
- Updating your web server configuration
- Setting up automatic HTTPS redirects
Our support team is available to assist with installation if needed.
What is a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)?
A CSR is an encoded file created on your server when applying for an SSL certificate. It contains essential details including:
- Your domain name
- Organisation information (for business certificates)
- Location details
- Public encryption key
The Certificate Authority uses this information to create your SSL certificate. If you host with us, we can generate the CSR for you automatically.
How do I generate a CSR?
You can create a CSR through your hosting control panel (such as cPanel or Plesk) by:
- Accessing your hosting dashboard
- Navigating to the SSL/TLS section
- Selecting “Generate CSR”
- Entering your domain and organisation details
- Submitting the generated code with your SSL order
We’re happy to handle this process for you if you prefer a fully managed setup.
